Colonial-Era Village
The Duck Pond area delights visitors with ducks, fish, and our resident swan. Around the Duck Pond is the Colonial-era Village. The Village includes a working Old Mill with Water Wheel, an Old Town Meeting House, rustic Covered Bridge, Carriage Shed, and a Blacksmith Shop. Stroll through the many trails featuring an abundance of native habitat recreations. This area of the Park is all-wheel accessible using the pathway through the Asian Garden, or the boardwalk entrance which is located at the Granville Road entrance of the Park.
Meeting House
The Meeting House is a small church-like rustic structure with bench seats, a speaker’s pulpit, and a bell in its cupola dating back to the 1800's. Adjacent to the Meeting House is the old-fashioned Herb Garden, which is realistically landscaped to correspond with the time period.
The Meeting House can hold 80 comfortably. For our weddings in other locations in the Park, in the event of rain, it serves as our indoor wedding location.
Mill House
The Mill House is a working mill. The cascading waterfall behind the building flows down the slouth, which supplies power for the waterwheel. This area of the Duck Pond is where the memorial to "Ozzie" the duck can be found.
Blacksmith Shop
The Blacksmith Shop is a reproduction of the type of shop that was located in several communities in earlier times. Inside the shop there are a forge, bellows, and an anvil. All are authentic to the era.
